Gave my yorkie a haircut…?

I was giving my dog a haircut for the first time and in all the how-tos, it said to shave his crotch area. I did it with the bare electric razor (like the one you would use for real hair). It is now all lumpy, red, and irritated. What should I do?

Aside from "get a professional to do it next time"? Look up "clipper burn" on the 'net. While it's not truly clipper burn caused by heat, it's an irritation from the abrasion.

And that is exactly why you are supposed to take them to a groomer.
